Tax dollars at a walk
The Federal Highway Administration funds this marvelous site called www.walkinginfo.org which provides encouragement to get out and walk. Aside from basics about personal walking and its benefits, it provides terrific resources for improving walkability of one’s own community.
Walking Solutions:
- Implement Solutions
- Develop Plans and Policies
- Engineer Pedestrian Facilities
- Educate Drivers and Pedestrians
- Enforce Laws
- Improve Access to Transit
- Promote Walking and Health
- Seek Funding and Build Support
Visit the site and poke around at all the free downloadable documents, once the damn snow goes away, perhaps a few of us can get out and do a casual audit of the walkability of our community with Walkinginfo.org’s Walkability checklist (download pdf)
